Our place is close to Coveside Restaurant on Christmas Cove -- a 7 minute walk. You’ll love our home because of the location, the people, the ambiance, and the outdoors space. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and families (with kids).

Our home is set back off the road in a lovely wooded setting, very quiet and private. A 40 minutes walk around the island is a must to enjoy the peaceful scenery and gorgeous water views. The closest store is a 25 minute walk where one can purchase lobster and most other items.

Jane's place was very nice. It was spacious with two rooms, three comfortable beds and a huge, extremely nice bathroom, which was a great layout for our group (my partner and I and his parents). Jane was very friendly and helpful during check in, and there was coffee and even some treats in the small fridge. The house is in a lovely area, close to the water and the small town of South Bristol. Very tranquil.

A charming 1BR + Loft cottage in the fishing village of South Bristol. Here you're steps to the water, an easy stroll to cafes and the boat launch, and a short drive from Christmas Cove. Sleeps 4, though you can also rent the main house for larger gatherings.
INSIDE THE COTTAGE
From the 2-car driveway, walk up a lush, tree-lined lawn to the quaint cottage. Wood steps lead to a small porch, and a glass door takes you into the airy main space.
Step into the living room, which also contains the kitchen and dining area. White paint adds a rustic feel to wood walls, and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and skylights create an expansive atmosphere. There's a green sleeper sofa and a wooden chair to seat 3, and a small flat-screen TV with a DVD and CD player, along with a decorative wood stove. Note: there is no central heat or air conditioning in the cottage and wood is not provided for the wood stove.
To the right of the kitchen is the sunlit dining area, furnished with a round wood table with seating for 4. To the left of the dining area is the kitchen, equipped with a mini-fridge, dishwasher, stainless steel sink, toaster oven, and electric 4-burner range. Wall-mounted wood boxes hold plates and utensils.
To the left of the kitchen are 2 glass doors leading to the peaceful backyard. Recline in 2 Adirondack chairs here, or stretch out in the sun atop the big hillside rock formation. Beside the house is a small wooden porch with a grill.
Back inside, a ladder to the right leads up to a snug loft furnished with a twin-size blow-up mat-tress, and below the full-size bath has a walk-in shower, gorgeous wood floors, and a pedestal sink.
Walk across the living room and take a right into the spacious bedroom, furnished with a cozy full-size bed and a rustic dresser.
OUR LOCATION
Located on a quiet street, this pleasant cottage is a short walk to the harbor, Lobsterman's Co-op, and the town boat launch. Pick up a hearty sandwich and the morning paper nearby, and treat yourself to an authentic Maine seafood dinner at Coveside Restaurant—try the blackened fish tacos.
Christmas Cove, named for Captain John Smith's anchorage in December of 1614, is a delightful place just a short drive away. At Christmas Cove you can catch a few artists at work capturing the coast's natural beauty. Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Pemaquid Beach, and Fort Pemaquid are also a quick car ride away.

Robyn2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

Lovely place! Would stay there again in a heart beat!!

Jessie2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay in this charming cottage. We enjoyed more than perfect weather so heat and A/C were not an issue. The mornings were a little chilly but the water in the shower was hot, and the place warmed up quickly. Location is near a lot of local attractions so it is a great little home-base.

Dorothy's guest home was wonderful; I can't say enough good things about it! The waterside location is superb and provides spectacular views. The guest home is decorated very nicely and has everything you need for your stay. We did not want to leave. As a host, Dorothy is a great communicator and very helpful. I would definitely stay again the next time I am in the area. Thank you, Dorothy!

Jemma2017-09-07T00:00:00Z

Beautiful, scenic spot that is a great getaway. Lots of picturesque harbors within driving distance. Simply sitting in the deck watching the tide ebb and flow was relaxing and unique in itself. Highly recommend for a therapeutic getaway.

Anne2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

We felt fortunate we had two nights here and wished we had more. Tranquil watching the tides change and if you go well supplied you wouldn't need to leave. That said, Dorothy steered us right with each suggestion. Stop and see Chris at the art gallery if headed to Coveside in Christmas Cove. Doug and Risa

The house is rustic in some ways (only hot water in the kitchen sink) and modern in others (internet).
The bedroom upstairs sleeps 4 (a double bed and two singles) and there is a small play area (with toys and books for kids of all ages).
The bathroom has a shower and a tub, although please note that the shower doesn't have an actual head, so the water comes directly out of the pipe.
Swing in the front yard, couches and chairs in the back yard.

Because the kitchen sink only has hot water, you can choose whether you'd like to purchase cold water for drinking and cooking, or just fill up from the tub faucet.

The streets are very quiet and perfect for walking and biking (and there are marked trails for hiking!). Ocean to be seen from almost anywhere!

A magical vacation rental on the Maine Coast. Walk out the door of this adorably cozy renovated barn to smell the salt air drifting across the front lawn from Long Cove mixed with the sweet smell of pine and fir from the surrounding woods. Bring your kayaks, your bathing suit, your favorite summer readings and your paints. This special spot offers everything you could want for a long weekend or week-long vacation on the Maine Coast.

We had an incredible time at the Barn. Photos do not do justice to how charming the barn is and to how idyllic and calming the property is. A very special place. Jenny was very communicative each step of the way. We could not be happier with our experience and were sad to leave. Hopefully we will make it back next Summer!

David2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

Nice rustic barn which the pictures show pretty well. Stair to second floor is steep, so maybe not ideal for someone challenged with walking and climbing. Owners were very friendly and communicated promptly electronically when they weren't present. I didn't find any wifi and forgot to ask about it, but with AT&T service, we found 2 to borderline 3 bars of cell service which worked OK. (That's better service than we get in downtown Damariscotta.) Nice area to walk around with water views and a short walk to sandwich shop and convenience store in South Bristol where you can watch the drawbridge operate.

Robert2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

Jenny and Carol were the perfect hosts. They communicated very well and answered any questions we had. We had an opportunity to meet them and they literally treated us as if we were family. The home was rustic with amazing charm. We will certainly be back to stay in this amazing and cozy barn. The town was great with the friendliest people ever. The water was a stones throw away. Thank you for being great hosts!

We had a lovely stay! The house was immaculately clean and the location was perfect. It's tucked away on a quiet street but it's perfectly close enough to the local attractions such as the Pemaquid lighthouse. There were plenty of movies, books and games to keep us entertained and they even provided building blocks for my toddler. We're so glad we stumbled upon this charming little spot and we would highly recommend staying here if you're ever in New Harbor.

Carissa2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

We highly recommend this rental home. It is very clean and well taken care of. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay (comfy couches, a well equipped kitchen, nice bathroom, laundry, etc). The location is wonderful and on a quiet and private street. James and Heather were very easy to work with and prompt at responding to our questions. They were generous and courteous. We hope to return again!

James and Heather's place was definitely a place we would all come back to. My group and I really enjoyed the full experience. The home was cozy, comfortable, clean and user friendly. The location was also lovely, as it was secluded on a quiet road and also very close to the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, which was a beautiful destination to visit if anyone in Maine is sightseeing. Additionally, James and Heather were easy to communicate with; they left us instructions for household keeping and touristic flyers on the kitchen table and living room coffee table. The home also supplied us with movies, board games, towels, books, music and kitchen appliances. Overall, this was a great experience and we would all recommend it. Thank you!

Mia2017-06-28T00:00:00Z

What an incredible experience. From the very beginning they were welcoming and always there to answer our question right away. I have been going to this area in maine for 25 years now and the location and attractions made it feel like a whole other vacation. Great people, great place and a great vacation. Thank you for everything.

Daniel2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

This cozy house was our favorite place to stay. It was super clean!! The walk to the ocean at the end of the lane is pretty. We took a blanket and played cards. Pemaquid Lighthouse is just a few minutes down the road. We beat the tourists by getting there early and again later in the evening. The house has games, movies, and books if you have poor weather and want to stay indoors. We would stay here again.

Built in the mid 1800's by ship wrights, The Fuller house remained in the family for five generations. It's nestled between Linekin Bay and Mill Pond with water views, large yard, gas grill and outside seating. The home has two separate sides each with it's own, kitchen, living room and dinning area. The Boat Builder's Retreat is located at the main entrance- the first door. The Fuller house retains the character and charm of a 19th century home. A five minute drive to Ocean Point or downtown.

In the mornings you can smell the ocean air and hear the lobsterman as they ready their boats to haul traps.
A mostly family neighborhood with neatly maintained yards and beautiful rock gardens. It is a short walk up to East Boothbay General store where you'll find locally roasted coffee, fresh baked muffins and breads, cheeses, wine and cold beer !

The house has amazing views and has access to a private sandy beach (rare in Maine). It is located on one of the the highest points on a quiet peninsula in South Bristol. The house overlooks Mcfarland's Cove on one side and John's Bay on the other.

The nearby town seems as if it has been ripped from the pages of story books. It is an authentic working lobster village on a beautiful peninsula. It is a picturesque as it gets!
Become immersed in the Maine coast lifestyle! You will wake up to the sounds of seagulls and lobster boats that are off in the distance. You can buy just caught lobster on the nearby docks for the lowest prices imaginable. In the evenings watch the osprey hunt for fish in Mcfarland's cove. If you are lucky you might even see a bald eagle. If you like fishing and boating you will not be disappointed!

Our experience was amazing! We loved the house and everything was very beautiful. I would recommend to anyone looking for an escape into serenity.

Sylvia2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

The house was great--even better than in the pictures. It's spacious, clean, and in near perfect condition. The outdoor space is wonderful, with a wraparound deck on the main floor and an additional balcony off the master bedroom, with beautiful ocean views. Highly recommended.

There were two other couples staying the house with the two of us, making a total of SIX people for ONE bathroom. The owner of the house had the TV blasting in the morning, then banged on the door to let us know check out was 10A -- which is the earliest check-out I have ever had in any place I have stayed all over the world.

Three minute drive to Round Pond Harbor. Ten minute drive to Damariscotta. Ten minute drive to Pemaquid Point. Snow mobile trail goes through property, perfect for woodland walks.

Round Pond is a sweet little village on the coast of Maine. Still a working harbor for lobstermen, and a draw for everyone who has the sense to visit here. On the harbor there are two lobster shacks with outdoor tables. Overlooking the harbor is a wonderful restaurant. Yes, an ice cream stand and a spot for coffee, plain and fancy. Best of all a neighborhood market for everything else.

Sage's place was excellent - cute, and perfect for a couple. Quiet and solitary, but close enough to all the places you might want to go in Mid-coast. Highly recommended.

This is a jewel of a place! The gardens and pond are really, really lovely and very welcoming. We even took a dip in the pond. The house itself is tastefully sparse, but decently appointed; we particularly liked all the old ironwork. The house feels much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside because of it's clever, simple design. Thanks Sage!

Sage's place was incredible! It was so peaceful and beautiful. She has created such a beautiful space both inside and out. Rustic-modern at its best! Truly a special place and I will definitely be staying there again. Best Airbnb ever*****

Sage' s cabin is beyond perfect for a quiet Maine getaway. The location is ultra private (you can't see any neighbors or even really street traffic from the property) and quiet (other than the sound of birds chirping and bulldogs calling to each other), yet still close enough to restaurants and shops when you need them. Although I had a weak phone signal, Sages internet connection was surprisingly strong, so I could be as plugged in as I wanted to be. The cabin itself is super comfortable and well furnished and you have everything you need to make a nice meal or cup of coffee. Which you'll immediately want to take out to the stunning patio. The pond and landscaping are impossibly beautiful and just beg to be stared at for hours, especially at sunset when the trees light up dramatically. It's quite a show. Bottom line, you should just book this place. Sage has created a perfect, private little haven in the woods. You'll love it.

Jeff2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

This was such a wonderful little spot in mid-coast Maine. I loved the decor, peacefulness, and ease of the whole place. The location was perfect. Savory Maine had delicious home cooked food, too!

Local grocery store Reilly's only a few minutes drive and has it all...the paper, deli sandwiches, pizza, meats, milk and bread to name a few.
Some of our favorite things to do:
Hardy Boat Cruises -- see Maine by sea and smell the salt air and cool breeze on your face. Five minute drive to New Harbor, a quintessential New England working harbor, to go on the Puffin Watch, Seal Watch, Sunset or Light House Cruises. Enjoy lunch or dinner at Shaw's Restaurant--renowned for it's lobster--on the pier at New Harbor when you return back to shore.
Monhegan Island--A great day-trip to Monhegan Island is a must on this visit to the Maine coast. Wear comfortable foot gear and bring a picnic. There is a back pack in closet for hikers. I suggest hiking to the cliffs on far side of Island. Artist galleries are open by chance in the island village. Lighthouse Museum is interesting and worth poking around to see the local lore of the sea. You can buy pizza and drink on the Island. A local brewery just opened up on the island a few years ago! In May/September Bird Migration Is TOPS! Bring Binoculars, trail guides provided by Hardy Boat, wear good walking shoes for the paths as there are no paved roads....a throw back in time....On a trip last summer one renter saw whales, porpoises, seals, a variety of birds and was especially delighted with trip.
Fort William Henry at Pemaquid Harbor--fabulous must see spot for the historian in you of colonial life in Northern New England. Early settlement provided Cod for Europeans in 1600's made this an important British claim. It's museum is rich with artifacts and short 15 minute movie of Pemaquid settlement. The fort sports a self-guided tour of settlement and gives an idea of how daily life was conducted. On Monday nights they host a Historical Lectures Series, special events and lantern tours. Pirate Dixie Bull once raided the settlement, a hurricane sunk the Angel Gabriel there, and Native Americans/French traded and fought with British. It is handicap accessible with picnic benches and panoramic view of Pemaquid Harbor. Maine TV crews had been filming Maine archaeologists at a dig this past summer and archaeologists still working at the dig. Picnic basket, blanket, bag, included at cottage. Order a lunch from Riley's Market at the deli section or from The Cupboard Restaurant on Huddle Road.
Pemaquid Beach--Love this crescent shaped beach with fine views of John's Bay and Islands. Relax, walk and collect shells and sea glass....Fine white sand, excellent for making sand castles or burying your feet. Snack bar is a must. French fries and a cold drink make it heaven. Fall asleep under an umbrella, listening to the waves. Feeling adventurous? Rent a boogie board and ride the waves if the surf is up. Beach-comb for treasures. Hot showers till 5. Special concerts, fireworks, yoga in the mornings. Park is open till sunset. Minimum fee to enter. Plenty of parking beach lovers delight!
Clark's Cove Farm--beautiful orchard on the South Bristol peninsula not far from Christmas Cove (plenty of great views and restaurants there). Perfect for apple picking in the fall, or any other time of year to see sheep and walk the vast, beautiful grounds by the river.
Trails--gorgeous trails abound this area, and we suggest LaVerna Preserve Hiking area: wooded trail leads directly to stunning wide views of Muscgungous Bay after only a half mile of hiking. Books in cottage have other nature hikes in the area.

Friendly, safe area. Get away to Maine and enjoy the Fall. Cool nights and pleasant days. Beach is still open! Kayak the Pemaquid River.....Kayak rental is open by chance this time of year. Taking walks around the Point and smelling the salt air and breeze is the best...local trail guide book in cottage. Of course it's very cool seeing the Lighthouse at night, blinking on every six seconds is in sync...When you stand at the lighthouse at night you can see four other lighthouses Monhegan Light every 20 seconds(URL HIDDEN) and many stars and galaxies. Every picturesque corner is to be explored ...all the nooks and crannies, eat seafood at local restaurants, explore funky shops, and enjoy being outside in the fresh air.

Janet's Post Office Cottage was all that I expected it to be. The cottage is cozy, well-appointed, and the perfect size for my party of one. But Janet's gorgeous, sizable lawn and garden kept pulling me outside. The antics of birds, chipmunks, squirrels and butterflies made me feel like Snow White... Pemaquid Lighthouse is a quick walk up the road. And though the Cottage doesn't afford a sea view, you can still taste the salt in the air and fall asleep to the buoy bell nearby. Upon my arrival, Janet left a warm note letting me know how to contact her if I needed anything (which I didn't), complete with a few tips on how to enjoy the area. The Cottage is stocked with many a book on Pemaquid's history and its attractions. I consumed these while I sat in an Adirondack chair in the back yard, in dappled light, with the crash of ocean waves in the air. I found the rest I was looking for! Janet, though I never met her, is a kind and thoughtful host. I hope to return next year (if she'll have me)!

We loved the laid back atmosphere and the perfect location to the town which was in easy walking distance and Boothbay Harbor area. Very nice stay!

Clean, good location.

Whitney2017-08-22T00:00:00Z

Alijah was easy to communicate with. A good, no frills room for a single person or couple who want to explore the nearby area. The artwork/decor of the house is eclectic. Bedroom and bathroom are off the kitchen and feels private. Very quiet location. I appreciated the driveway for parking, being walking distance to the harbor was a plus.

Elizabeth2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Alijah was a great host and we enjoyed meeting her. The room was in a convenient location, walking distance to the harbor. It was also quiet and the bed comfortable.

Cynthia2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

We could not have asked for a more convenient and comfy spot from which to visit family and friends in Boothbay Harbor. Alijah is a warm and attentive host. The room is quiet and comfortable and private. In short a great place to stay!

Lisa2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

Alijah was a huge help for us providing us with many areas of interest around Booth Bay. She was easy to contact and quick to respond to questions we had. The house is very close to downtown so we didn't drive during our entire stay. She's a wonderful host!

Heather2017-08-24T00:00:00Z

Easy going and helpful hostess. The place was close to everything. We enjoyed our stay.

Emily2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Nestled in a grove of oak and fir trees just a couple hundred feet from a tidal cove, this solar-powered Classic Airstream provides the perfect place for a small family or a party of 2-4 to unplug and unwind and enjoy a camping experience with most of the comforts of home. An adjacent tent site provides sleeping space for two additional guests in your party. Our fire pit is ideal for a cookout and campfire conversations. Take a swim or launch your canoe/kayak to paddle Parsons Creek and beyond.

Our 30-foot Classic Airstream, not unlike a spaceship, has everything on board you need for comfortable camping. Powered by the sun, LED lighting and quiet fans keep the living space comfortable for daytime and evening activities and sleeping in the summer. A propane furnace and fans can warm the Airstream on cool days. With limited electricity supply, Snow Goose does not have the convenience of a microwave, small electric appliances, or TV. However, for your listening pleasure, we have a built-in radio/CD stereo sound system with speakers in the master bedroom and living room. We have a small library of CDs, but please bring music you love to listen to.
The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare meals, including a full-size, dual-fuel refrigerator/freezer and 3-burner propane cooktop and oven. A double sink makes food preparation and clean-up easy. The counter by the sink can be extended with a fold-down shelf and a sink cover, stored under the sink, can create more counter space. There is a two-cup French press coffee maker (and organic fair-trade coffee) and whistling teapot (and assorted organic teas) to get you off to a great start the morning after you arrive. We provide sugar, organic flour, organic olive oil and some basic herbs and spices (including Bay Seasoning for seafood) to simplify your shopping needs.
The master bedroom, with its comfortable queen bed, has plenty of storage space for your clothing and gear. Windows on three walls provide fresh air and woodland views. A sliding door can be closed to the bathroom for privacy. A second sliding door on the living room side of the bathroom also can assure privacy for all. A large cedar closet has hangers and more storage space.
The living room features a full-size sleeper sofa. Stretch out on the couch by day and two can comfortably sleep on the bed at night. Two tables, folded down in front of the sofa, can be unfolded and create an indoor eating space that, with the dinette, can easily accommodate 6 people.
A stall shower opens into the bathroom which has a flush toilet and vanity. We supply shampoo, soap, and all bed linens and towels, including beach towels. We have a 50-gallon fresh water tank onboard that contains tested water from our well. A 39-gallon gray water tank onboard holds waste water from the shower and sinks. We ask our guests to be mindful of their water use, taking moderate showers and turning off faucets when not in use.
Just outside Snow Goose a round dining table and four chairs are set up under the full-length awning, providing shade and protection from rainy weather. The fire pit is just a few feet out into the open area where four more chairs can be gathered around a campfire or side table. We provide kindling and seasoned firewood for your outdoor cooking and campfire.
We are committed to living on our land as ecologically as possible. Therefore the cleaning and hygiene products we use and supply to guests are non-toxic or organic, and in some cases, locally made. We ask guests to compost and recycle food and other waste in labeled containers we provide. We will also donate 5% of the Airstream airbnb rental income to Maine environmental and social justice organizations that are committed to restoring and protecting Maine's ecosystems and serving our neighbors who are experiencing unjust circumstances.
The cove is tidal water, and on hot summer days, when the tide comes in over the heated mud bottom in late morning/early afternoon, you may enjoy a surprising, for Maine, warm swim. It can be delightful to float on your back or in your kayak or canoe and watch eagles and osprey circle overhead while kingfishers flit by searching for food. Great blue herons often fish in the cove at low tide. Occasionally a seal may swim up into the cove following schools of fish. Some mornings you may hear the mystical call of a loon fishing in the cove. Across Mill Road, on the other side of the bridge, you can launch your kayak or canoe and at mid to high tide paddle down Parsons Creek past small islands and along rocky cliffs where sometimes eagles or osprey perch in the tall trees.
We have some unmarked logging roads and trails on our property that lead to active beaver ponds and into a totally undeveloped area. We feel fortunate to share this land with many creatures who also make it their home, such as porcupines, raccoons, coyotes, red foxes, snowshoe hares, red squirrels, chipmunks, and many varieties of birds, such as pileated woodpeckers, redwing blackbirds, goldfinches, blue jays, cardinals, flickers, barred owls, raptors, and other species. Once in a while we have been visited by a moose!

Our coastal property, just four miles from US Route One, is on a picturesque country road overhung by lush tree canopies — a popular jogging and biking route, though caution should be taken as there are no shoulders. Just a mile from Route 27 and then 10 miles south from us is Boothbay Harbor, where guests can easily access the many sites the harbor and its vicinity offer — the world-class Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens; Boothbay Land Trust hiking trails; whale and seal watching, sightseeing and fishing boat trips; night entertainment at the Boothbay Opera House; seafood and eclectic cuisine restaurants, gift shops, art galleries; picture-perfect beaches with rocky outcroppings and tidal pools perfect for exploring, and much more. Monhegan Island, 10 miles out to sea, is a top destination for many. Boat trips from Boothbay Harbor and New Harbor take passengers to the island where a network of trails through forests, fairy houses, and along craggy cliffs and an art colony can provide an inspiring daylong experience. Nearby Damariscotta and the Pemaquid Peninsula offer interesting gift shops and boutiques, restaurants and entertainment. Pemaquid Lighthouse is a Maine iconic treasure and nearby Pemaquid sandy beach and Rachel Carson tidal pool in New Harbor are perfect destinations for family explorations and recreation. Great fresh Maine seafood choices abound everywhere. About a 45-minute drive and you can visit the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, which features paintings by internationally renowned artists Andrew and Jamie Wyeth and other Maine artists. Camden Hills State Park, with driving road and hiking trails up Mt. Battie and Mt. Megunticook, offers scenic views of the coast from the top. Going south on Route One, Wiscasset is an antique and art lovers' paradise, with waterfront dining and interesting shops as well. Further South, about 17 miles from our home, is the City of Bath, which has the Maine Maritime Museum on the Kennebec River offering summer boat excursions and downtown shops. Three sandy ocean beaches are quite close to Bath (NOTE: Pets are NOT allowed on the beaches.)

Andy and Stephen were wonderful hosts! They provided great coffee and tea and even cold beer in the fridge. The bed in the Snow Goose was extremely spacious and comfortable -- a significant improvement over many I have encountered in my travels. It is remarkable how much space and storage can be found in an Airstream. This was my first experience in one, and I can see why so many people are fans. Of course, the area around Edgecomb is super scenic! Highly recommended!

Karen2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

Wonderful hosts, great location in a busy area but a quiet site. Great accomodations and peaceful.

Carol2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

The Airstream was a really good experience. It is private, but Stephen and Anne are just up the driveway if you need them. They were super cool about hosting our dog, and they were great with communication. Please pay attention that there are not complete hookups at the site yet, so they check the water tanks daily. They are perfectly clear about this in their communications, guests should just be aware. It wasn't an issue during our stay. Boothbay is an adorable town just down the road.

Jeffrey2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

We had a great time in the airstream! Such a great location, accessible to everything. Our dog loved it too! Andy and Stephen are great hosts and there are lots of little surprises to make the stay even better. We loved the Maine blueberries. Thanks again!

Snow Goose was an ideal setting for our family to escape from city life and enjoy all the woodland wonder surrounding it. It was clean and cosy and had everything we needed. Our gracious hosts were also generous with their time and our 5-year-old son enjoyed discovering trails and secret spots along the cove guided by Mira. Along with much time spent in the woods, we cooked out over the fire and took a memorable trip to nearby Hendricks Head beach. Wonderful all around, would highly recommend!
